My Most Embarrassing Story

Let's take a trip down memory lane.

Aug 25, 2020

When I started my first semester at Penn State I was like 20 years old and a transfer student. I used to go to the library and do my homework. I studied for my exams and did my papers. Still, when you do so much work you need free time, by that, I mean that you must find something that makes you content and makes you be liberated by your mind and soul. Since I only had like two or three friends I stayed a lot in my dorm. I was so bored but I remembered that I had a karaoke. I love music and everything about it music makes me feel free. Just being able to dance music or sing music makes me content.

So what I would do every Saturday when my roommate was not there is I would start to sing.

I would rap or sing and I didn't care because in my head I am like people are probably you know busy and probably not in their dorms. I would sing and sometimes when I would be homesick I would sing and cry. If you know Rascal Flatts, I would sing God Bless The Broken Road. I would sing Adele about depressing relationships that didn't occur. I would sing Cardi B to remind myself that I am it, I would some classic rock, Spanish music, and rock music sometimes.

One day when I had the worst week ever. I couldn't wait for my Saturday karaoke session as I was belting Neyo so sick I hear a knock on my door. I was surprised and scared I know that I didn't order GrubHub for my wings yet, so I wondered maybe it's my roommate. So I asked who is it and it was my neighbor. My neighbor came and told me that she had to go to work and that if I could stop yelling. She said can you sing a little quieter and I just wanted to hide my face inside of my pillow.

I showered and then I went to sleep and then I wondered damn karaoke was my outlet I was also afraid to sing now that I got my karaoke sesh shut down. Turns out I joined a karaoke club at Penn State and got kicked out lol. It is like karaoke and I have a weird relationship. I love to sing for fun and I don't care I sing while I shower and wash the plates. I love music because music takes me to many different places. I love to be able to express myself and to be happy.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
